“This has been one of the most relaxed boarding experiences ever - Sandy was so wonderful and I think we are going to be regulars at her place :) My Elvis came back looking happy, healthy and missing his buddy. I loved the daily pictures and updates, and the drop-off/pick-up were very convenient. Thank you Sandy!”

“Ruby loved her stay with Lauren and the golden girls. We will definitely be back! I felt very comfortable with all of the arrangements and really appreciated the updates and photo Lauren sent to me. Definitely recommend her!”
“Meghan did a wonderful job with my senior dog. I was nervous to leave her, because I don't do it much, but I definitely felt better knowing she was in Meghan's care. She's very thorough in gathering information to ensure your pup has the best, most comfortable time. I'll definitely be asking her again.”
“Siri was so amazing with my dog, Rooster (Roo)! She treated her just like her own and sent so many adorable pictures of them playing, snuggling, and running errands. She was also happy to keep Roo for an additional day when my flight was unexpectedly cancelled. I am so relieved to have found a wonderful local sitter and cannot recommend her enough!!”

“Josephine was able to take my request on short notice. We had a meet and greet the day prior to me dropping him off at a dog park and she had her 3 dogs as well as another potential client at the meet as well. All of the dogs got along great and Josephine is very knowledgeable and patient. She gave me advice for my pup for his anxiety for future stays. I am very appreciative.”
“Maria and Ben are fantastic sitters! Our energetic golden retriever, Moose, had the best weekend with them and their golden boys. He’s home and zonked from zooming around all weekend. Would absolutely recommend them for anyone looking for a sitter. Very communicative, sent frequent updates and photos/ videos, and overall left us at ease knowing he was in great hands. Thank you again for taking care of our boy, Maria and Ben!”
“Jessica has been taking care of our furry babies since we moved to Cincinnati area- at least 5 different times. She cares for them like they are her own and we know we can fully trust her. She sends us frequent photos and updates via text and is always reachable. Our dogs are excited to see her and sad to leave so we know that they love her as much as she loves them. Would recommend her to anyone.”
About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with years of experience caring for pets of all personalities, ages, and needs. As a proud Pomsky parent myself, I understand that every pet has their own unique personality, routine, and comfort level. I provide patient, loving, and dependable care while treating every pet like they’re part of my own family. Whether your pup needs playtime, walks, extra cuddles, or simply some company while you’re away, I’m happy to give them the attention and care they deserve. I’m also comfortable with senior pets and pets who need a little extra patience and reassurance. My goal is simple: to make your pet feel safe, loved, and right at home while giving you peace of mind that they’re in good hands. Pet care fits naturally into my routine! I work from home, which gives me plenty of flexibility and allows me to be home throughout the day for walks, potty breaks, playtime, and lots of attention. I’m also a mom of two girls who are both in school (elementary and middle school), so my daytime schedule is fairly consistent. I occasionally work evenings outside of the home, but I plan my schedule around my pet-sitting commitments and make sure every pet gets the care, attention, and routine they need. Since I have a pup of my own I’m already used to keeping a consistent routine and making time for plenty of exercise, play, and cuddles! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a privacy fenced backyard where dogs can safely enjoy some fresh air, playtime, and exercise. I provide a clean, comfortable, and welcoming environment where pets can relax and feel at home. I’m attentive to each pet’s individual needs, routines, and personality, and I always take the time to make sure they feel safe and comfortable. I’ll treat your pets with the same love, patience, and care I give my own pup!
“Johana and her husband were wonderful! They were great with our St. Bernard. The updates were really nice, and we really felt she was in very safe hands. Overall we were very happy with the experience and most importantly our Bebe had a great time and made new friends!”
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Fairfield is $40

Jennifer is such a warm and fuzzy person! She’s exactly what my puppy needs especially when he’s away from home. She kept him for 4 days. Jennifer laughed and smiled while speaking passionately about her love for dogs. I really loved the pictures that she sent to reassure his comfortability. Booking and communicating with her was very easy and pleasant. I’d be happy to book with her again.
Wow! I cannot say enough about what a great sitter Susan is!! On top of being just 4 miles from my home, Susan was just wonderful to us during our meet and greet, where we met her 2 dogs and 2 cats (can't say we really met the cats, since cats don't do meet and greets). We're always concerned about Abby and other dogs but once Susan's dogs met Abby, sniffed her once or twice, the novelty was gone and they all settled down. This was the first time that we had left Abby with anyone she doesn't know, and I can say that I was a little anxious, but Susan was fantastic! It's clear that she has a lot of experience with animals and cares deeply for them. She supplied lots of feedback and photos during Abby's 2-night stay and responded very quickly to my texts. We will definitely be booking with Susan in the future.

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Fairfield is $32 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $36 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

As of November 2026, there are 847 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Fairfield. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
96% of sitters in Fairfield can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Fairfield home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Fairfield.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Fairfield. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Fairfield sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in OH ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
